The shock outcome of the EU referendum – and its political consequences – changed the landscape of UK markets overnight. Waves of panic washed over global equity markets following the shock Brexit result. But recovery has been swift – for now at least. We are now faced with a situation, desperately seeking out for someone to take hold as Britain prepares to leave the European Union.

In the months ahead, markets will continue to be buffeted by politics and economic uncertainty. While financial markets come to terms with the consequences for the UK economy, as well as the wider EU and global implications, we highlight here some key issues for investors. Investors looking for opportunity should consider the probability of recession, and monitor how that might evolve. That’s certainly what we’ll be doing and discussing how best to proceed.

This approach differs from most multi-asset products, which seek to maximise returns against their peers rather than being managed to a client-led volatility expectation.

Join Julian Chillingworth, CIO of Rathbones, in our opening webcast for 2016, as he discusses where our growth opportunities lie, and the key issues that will shape our investment strategy.

While investors remain fixated on the path of interest rates, economic growth is an equally important driver of equity return variation – more specifically economic growth relative to expectations. The global growth outlook is much less certain than the direction of US interest rates, we believe it should track higher in 2016.

The Rathbone Income Fund continues to deliver first quartile performance over one three and five years* and holds a longstanding position of top performing manager in the IA UK Equity Income Sector over the Fund Manager's tenure (1st January 2000).

On Tuesday 6th October Carl will examine how his risk based approach to investment continues to be an attractive proposition for clients seeking diversification with a growing income stream. Also to be discussed is the current positioning of the fund and the manager’s outlook given the recent market volatility.

Bryn Jones, manager of the Rathbone Ethical Bond Fund and Rathbone Strategic Bond Fund will take investors through his current thinking on markets, his outlook for the rest of the year and beyond, and how the funds have performed through the recent bout of volatility.

Performance remains very strong on the Rathbone Ethical Bond Fund, maintaining its number one spot in the sector over three years. The Rathbone Strategic Bond Fund is also doing what it said on the tin, and volatility remains one of the lowest in its sector. Its recent ascent in the rankings has confirmed our view of funds in the sector taking on too much risk.

David Coombs, Fund Manager and Head of Multi-Asset Investments, Rathbones

During the presentation, David Coombs will discuss:

1. Targeting income in a rising interest rate environment-- how do we avoid losses if yields rise?
2. Rising liquidity risk in income producing asset classes-- what does this mean and how do I spot it?
3. Achieving a consistently increasing income stream-- How to ensure your clients "pot" does not run out
4. Avoiding income disappointment-- maintaining your client's lifestyle over the long term

Strong stock-picking and good opportunities continue to provide outperformance for all investors.

There are strong indicators that the global recovery will continue for developed markets. Bearish sentiment seems overpowering at the moment but we believe that investors should remain in equities. We are confident that weak emerging markets or rate hikes will not derail the developed market recovery. The Manager maintains large exposure to US equities, mid-caps and some of the most exciting and innovative companies in the world. The fund is in the top quartile of performance over 1,3,5 and 10 years.
